PicLens – View Images with Interactive Full Screen 3D Wall

PicLens instantly transforms your browser into a full-screen, 3D experience for viewing images on the web. Photos will come to life via a cinematic presentation that goes well beyond the confines of the traditional browser window. With PicLens, browsing and viewing images on the web will never be the same again.

Their new interactive “3D Wall” lets you effortlessly drag, click, and zoom your way around a wall of pictures for an extraordinary, full-screen viewing experience. Why mundanely flip through online photo galleries or squint at thumbnails from Google Image Search when you can fly through an immersive, full-screen experience instead?

I am really amazed with the ability of PicLens. It saves me a lot of time on click “Next Page” buttons. I can scroll through all images easily and quickly. Download it and I am sure you will love it too.

I deleted the piclens plugin for firefox a while ago. Why? Because instead of pre-downloading the images so they are ready to look at, it displays them in a blury mash of pixels while a progress bar slowly crawls along to download the image while you wait to see it, only after you click the image, one by one… To be honest piclens is a great idea, but needs work.

I already have downloaded this plugin a few weeks ago and I really love it! It’s awesome to have a wall with pictures (almost) without an ending. It really gives the feeling that internet is endless.

just amazing! it’s a shame that it’s not possible for the moment to save the images directly from the software… thanks for the link!
